Unlike Basanti, who was asked not to dance in front of 'kutte', a barkeeper in Andheri decided that keeping guard dogs was the best way to ensure that his bargirls could keep dancing without fear of arrest.

On May 28, at 1.15 am, the Crime Branch raided the Andheri East bar and found two dogs guarding the entrance. Officers said that all the owner had wanted was for the dogs to delay the cops for a few seconds, so the bar girls could escape from the back door.
